Figure l of the drawing is a representation Fig. 2 is a sectional detail view of our invention. Fig. 3 is a detail view of our invention.

This invention hasrelation to a portable heating and cooking apparatus;v and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of a stove or heater, a kettle or waterboiler, and a vessel for cooking food, all sub` stautially as hereinafter more fully described.

Referring to the accompanying drawing illustrating our invention, A designates a small sheet-iron stove, which may be adapted to burn either wood or coal, and which is made tapering in form, so that it may have a base broad enough to support it and the kettle firmly. B indicates the fuel-opening; B l, the door, hinged so as to work up and down; and B2, the hearth, extending from the lower part ot' the fuel-opening, as shown, inclined toward said opening so as to convey the fuel into the stove, and provided 'with raised sides to prevent the fueliroin falling on the ground. D designates a flange, encircling the upper part of the stove, and designed to support the kettle. Above said flange the stove is cylindrical. Below the iiange the stove is perforated, as shown at b, to produce a draft. b1 represents an annular perforated slide, secured within the stove, and operated by a stud or pin, b2, passing through a slot. This slide is used for the purpose ot' regulating the draft. E represents the kettle, constructed of sheet metal, and of an annular form, the water-space being around the inner cylindrical wall E1. This wall extends some distance below the water-space and forms a rim, d, which lits over the top of the stove and rests on the ange D. In the rim d are cut L shaped slots, d1, which receive the studs d2, projecting from the stove. VWhen the kettle, after being placed on the stove, is turned around, the studscl2 are received by the horizontal sections of said slots, and the kettle and stove thereby locked together. By turning the kettle back until the vertical sections of the slots coincide with the studs, the kettle may be lifted oft'. The wall E1 extends, also, above the waterspace, and constitutes a rim, e, to support a vessel, E2, designed to contain meat or vegetables while they are being cooked, and provided with a lip, e1, to rest on said rim. Around said rim draft-openings e2 are made, as shown. The vessel E2 is tapering in form, to allow the heat to pass up at its sides, and is sufficiently deep to bring its lower part in close proximity to the re. Es designates the cover of said vessel, and E4 ears byjwhiclt to handle the vessel. E5 represents a movable rim, which is designed to lit over the rim e, but which is higher than the latter, and

made tapering, so that its upper end may be of the same diameter as the rim e. This movable rim is intended to support the cooking-vessel some distance above the fire, when the nature of the contents renders the higher arrangement preferable. The movable rim is perforated, as shown at F, for the purpose of providing a draft. G denotes a spout for conducting water or other fluid to the kettle.

.F is a cap to close said spout. E represents a lock-faucet, to be used in drawing ott' the contents of the kettle. I represents the removable keyto said faucet. J designates a bail, by means of which the whole apparatus may be carried.

This apparatus is designed, principally, for the useA of out-,door workmen, and others whose occupations render the use of a portable cooking apparatus advantageous and convenient. The kettle or boiler may be used not only for heating water, but for heating coffee, tea, or other beverage.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l.' The improved portable cooking apparatus, consisting of the stove A having the studs d2, perforations b, and annular slide b1, the l l annular kettle E having the slotted rimrl 2 reageer and the crown-rim e, and the cooking vessel In testimony that We claim the above we E2, all combined and arranged substantially have hereunto subscribed our names in the as specified. presence of two Witnesses.

2,. The annular kettle E having the flanges FRANCIS LAPARE. or rims d e, bail J, spout Gr, and faucet H, sub- FRANQOIS X. JAGQUOT.

stantially as specified.

3. The adjustable rim E5, in combination Vitnesses: with the annular kettle E, cooking vessel E2, JNO. HENRY PUHL, and stove A, substantially as specified. SAMUEL C. PEIRGE.
